The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 19th August 2016

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

The strategy of the last few years has worked well, but that doesn't work once you break into the top four. If you want to stay and compete at that level you need to not only buy young unpolished players but also buy a top quality player(s) that sends a message to our competitors and other top players that we mean business. This will help us keep our top players and also tempt others. None of us expect Levy to pay £80m but we should be able to pay £40m and/or the larger salary to really strengthen our first eleven.

We have strengthened the squad but not the first eleven. United, city and Chelsea have.

Players that are guaranteed to improve our first eleven command wages we can't afford.

United, City and Chelsea have improved their first teams to catch us. We can't outspend them to try and stay ahead, we have to rely on good coaching and giving our young talented players space and opportunities to grow and improve.

I'm not saying anymore on this as it's the wrong thread.

Where does it say Poch or the club doesn't want N'jie?

You generally don't move on players you want after 1 year and a handful of appearances.

Where's he gone?

 

[Gbspurs]

Where's he gone?

If he stays I'll donate a tenner to the site. You do the same if he leaves.

 

[Gb160]

Don't wanna bet, I honestly thought we'd sold him and I'd missed it lol.

Please could I advise people being contacted about their shares to be very careful. I was contacted last year by a "boiler room" - a bunch of fraudsters based abroad whose business is deceit. Just put the phone down after asking them if their mothers know what they do for a living and are they proud of them.

Everyone knows he is going to Marseille on Loan

We might be (have been) in for Sissoko

But seems like from the time I heard the info, PM'd A&C and posted on here, story has broken that he's agreed terms with Inter (£35m!)

So either my info was wrong, we were not serious enough and were beaten to it, or there's something in it still as he hasn't signed yet.

At 35m there is nothing in it you can be sure of that.

I don't know what figures may have been quoted relating to us, but yes if Inter are bidding £35m then we won't be.

We know as a club that we are not willing to fork out big sums for players but surely there must 1/2 out there right now who could come in and improve the team.

Then Inter have completely changed their transfer policy which for the last 2 seasons has been get players on a 1 or 2 year loan with an option to buy, for money nowhere near this £35M figure.

They have new Chinese owners, Sunings Holding Group, who are willing to splash the cash. Inter just bought Candreva for 22 mil and tried to get Gabriel Jesus and Gabigol for large fees, so they could spend big now if they wanted.

Our interest may be real?

Wasn't joes daughter a big spurs fan

She takes more of an active role in things at ENIC nowadays. More than Joe Lewis does I think.

 

[Kiedis]

So, SPORT is running an exclusive saying that Munir El Haddadi would like to join us. Could this be the mystery player from La Liga that has been mentioned in earlier ITK?

Stay tuned.

Take cover

Take cover

That kind of ambiguity is just going to make many of us shit ourselves with excitement/anxiety for no obvious reason
